ELECTRICITY IN HARNESS.

The officers of the Washington City
street car lines were invited few days ago
to Philadelphia to witness the operations
of a new electric motor. The National
Republican, which contains long account
of the matter, says among other things.
Upon their arrival In the city of Broth
erly Love the Washington pilgrims soon
found their way to Twenty third street
and Washington avenue, where is situated
the ward of the " harton Switch company
the corporation which controls the new
motor. Here they were met by Mr.. VIM.
Wharton, Jr. Prof Reckenzsun. Mr.. G.
Herbert Condict, electrians, and the work
ing of the motor " as thoroughly explained.
Several other gentlemen arrived at the yard
by IL O'Clock. among them being Mr.
Lutz. presid.nt of the Norristown Railroad
company; Dir Petty, X-superintendent OF
the Philsdelphis Traction company
Messrs. VIM P Warner and Cresswell,
dir ctors of the Thirteenth and Fifteenth
streets railroads, and DR. l. Fl Alder.
The Start was made from the yard ST

wheel which controls the movements of
the car The run was out on Twenty
third up to Spruce and down Spruce TO
the exchange, where short halt was
made, and the car was speedily surrounded
by curious crowd, which looked, and
looked In vain, for the motive power.

WHO DID IT?

The success attending the experiments In
sugar making from sorghum cane at Fort
Scott has already given rise to discussion
of the question who was the inventor or
discoverer of the process. Mr.. Parkinson,
the manager and we believe owner of the
works in Fort Scott, where the expert
ments have been more recently carried on
under the patronage of the government, Is
generally understood to have finally
developed the method or process, and
has accordingly been given credit
therefor But 1t seems from the
following, which Is taken from the
Hartford Courant that the credit is claimed
for and by another. The Courant says:
For whatever progress has been made
In the development of sugar production
from sorghum, the chief credit is due to
Professor Peter Collier, who was removed
from his position as chemist of the agr'cul
tural bureau by Commissioner Loring, a
removal without cause and to the detriment
of the agricultural interests of the country
Under the successive administrations of the
bureau little progress has been made, aud
apparently studied efforts have been made
to disparage aud belittle the work accom-
plished by DR.. Collier AS the readers of
the Courant are aware DR.. Collier has never
lost faith In the u Innate triumph of his
views, although convinced that the depart
ment was wasting money In useless eXper
iments. In spite of the departments fail
ures ne has insisted that sugar could be
IA h1lr or q n
one cent pound. Commissioner Colman's
recent remarks at Fort Scott. Kan, indi
cate that he, like his predecessor, Loring,
has at last been converted to DR.. Golfers
| views, although unwilling to give to their
author the credit to which he is justly en-
titled. In his remarks on the successful
demonstration at Fort Scotia success
which seems to Justify all that DR.. Collier
claimed ten years ago-Mr. Colman said
that the developers of the new process are
entitled to as much credit and honor as were
heaped upon Whitney for the cotton gin,
but he was careful to make no mention OF
| Golfers name.
1t Is gratifying to note that the leading
papers of the country are protesting
against this injustice to poor man who
| freely gave to the country the results OF
profound study and exhaustive expert
menis. which received the endorsement of
the first scientists Of the country, q special
committee Of the National Academy OF
Sciences. The New York Tribune says
"The fact is that since DR.. Collier LETT The

GODDARD GLINTING.

To the Editor OF the Esg'e.
Yesterday being the natal anniversary Of
Anna l.. Flood, about fifty of her friends
and acquaintances planned and executed a
complete though pleasant surprise for her.
The party stormed the residence of her
brother, VIM. Flood, about 8 o'clock in
the evening loaded with many nice pres
ents. Taking possession Of the house a
splendid repast was prepared and discussed
by the al present. Inappropriate program
consisting Of music, games, ETC., was
adopted and carried out, and 1t was well
towards morning ere the guests departed,
all vfeing In the wish for many returns Of
the occasion that had brought SO much
happiness to their estimable friend and
pleasure TO them Il. b.

be renewed without much waste. "If the
plates las. but three months" said he,
''they would still be cheaper than horse
flesh
Mr. Wharton said the company proposed
to put their cars al d motors on the streets
of any city at their own expense, and If
they did not do all that was claimed for
them, then the company would remove
them.
President Pearson expressed himself as
entirely satisfied with the motor. Every
promise made as to its capabilities. said
he, "has been fulfilled, and l believe 1t Is
but question Of unexpectedly not long
when 1t will be introduced in Washing
ton. The motor Is a success; the proof OF
the pudding, they say, is In chewing the
string: we have chewed the string and are
satisfied. | thank you on behalf Of my
Washington friends and myself for your
kindness and hospitality"
The party then adjourned to the yard
and another trip was made, Mr. Condict
again taking charge All the arrangements
of the machinery was shown and the car
again thoroughly tested without the slight
est evidence of weakness being apparent.
In reply TO question as to whether there
would rot be danger. to rasseng rs
during s thunder storm, Mr.. Wharton said:
There can be none; the batteries are prop
ely secondary not Storage. There Is
chemical action which generates electricity
as 1t is used and no further.
Several Of those present tested the appa-
rent strength of the current, but 1t was so
slight as TO cause only tickling sensa'
ton
The car used Is an old street car con
vertei to the new system. The motor Is
suspended beneath the car floor and Is
covered with leather TO keep out the dust.
| The battery is under the seats, and both 1t
and the motor are easily accessible. The en-
| tire mechanism is controlled by one man
| in the front of the car. which can be pro-
PEELED either backward or forward with
equal facility There Is warning gong
over the operators head which he starts by
pressing a button with bis foot. Also,
within reach of his right foot Is valve
which WILL when opened, drop sand on q
slippery track The illumination is by In
candescent lights, two In the center OF the
car and one at each end, all inside; while
on the headboard is powerful headlight
of the msst approved design. Signals tc
"stop." .'go ahead" or black" are given
by an electric bell buttons for operating il
being fitted along the sides of the car. The
whole affair seems TO be as complete as
mau's skin can make it.
The Washington delegation was both
surprised and delighted at the success OF
the motor, and it is more than probable
that inside Of the next two months at least
one of them will be In working operation
on the line of the Metropolitan railroad.

THE WICHITA TRAIN,

Following is pen picture of the train
which carried the Wichita vets to St.
Louis, as drawn by representative OF the
Globe Democrat and published in that
paper:
The Missouri Pacific train which brought
in the veterans from Wichita, Kan, was a
model In the matter of proper accommoda-
tons for the passengers. The road did
everything that was possible to make the
comrades trip pleasant oae and furnished
them with all the comforts that first
railway with modern equipments can sup,
ply. The CARS were handsomely decorated
and bore appropriate notices and inscrip
tons. On the first car was displayed q
banner bearing the inscription, "Laurels
TO, the Living, Tears and Laurels fol
the Dead" On the opposite side oil

After reviewing the G. A. r. boys as
they marched In the grand procession in
ST. Louis, Thursday, the Globe Democrat
remarks that 1.-The old veterans OF the g..
A. R. are not SO old-looking as many sup
pose. 1t would be easy to pick out of any
hundred Of them at least seventy-fve who
would pass muster for service for another
war" When it is remembered that the
armies were made up largely of the young
men of the country, a majority of them
barely out of their teens. and that the
twenty-five OF three years added to their
age since since the close of the war only
bring s them up to the meridian OF life, the
CD. g observation is not surprising, but
only q natural, legitimate conclusion.
With such an auxiliary. such nucleus
around which to organize an army of the
present population Of the country of mill
tary age, did occasion call for it, the
United Sattes could defy the combined
powers of Europe. But there were very
many men of mature years who, moved by
patriotic impulse by the first sounding
of wars tocsin in 81, are now fast passing
down the incline of life upon the shady
side, and these are being rapidly mustered
out of service. 1t is 10 keep green the
memory Of these and minister to theil

which they made common sacrifice tina

and grows stronger as the years pass anC
